This is what I look like (in Africa) when I’ve washed my hair in the sink, let it air dry and bathed with a wet wipe:

The exciting part of the busy week was AAALLLL the orders from the Mercy Shop. Thank you! Thank you! I Skyped with our darling girls in Kenya and told them how much everyone loved their creations. (FYI: I got emotional seeing our new baby snuggled up to her momma).

So, before I make this post any more random, I’ll tell you the THREE winners from the Mercy Shop giveaway:

I’m mostly glad to know that I’m not the only one who washes themselves (and my sinks, and counters and the floor while I’m in the bathroom with the kids in the tub!) with wipes!!! LOL. Summer does go by way to fast…especially here in Buffalo where we live because winter lasts WAAAAYYYYY toooo long….

Lots of hugs to you!! I only traveled to Louisiana…by myself…and I can’t seem to get caught up with everything. I feel like my days and weeks are just attacking me and I’m losing the battle. For instance, I spent the day cleaning my living room and once it was clean and I was feeling half decent about it and things in general, I realized that I am now 3 weeks behind with getting my kids’ curriculum for the up coming school year. AHHHH!! But this, too, shall pass and God has it all under control.

You are soo beautiful…it doesn’t matter how your hair was washed or what you used to bathe. For what it’s worth, my kids get wipey baths about every other day. LOL

I just wanted to make mention that I received my order today! The necklace I ordered is beautiful and much bigger than I expected! Thanks so much for offering such pretty jewelry. I can’t wait to wear it soon.

HI! I'm Kristen. I'm here to encourage you as a wife and mom and remind you there's a little bit of THAT family in all of us. I write books, run Mercy House and try to remember I am third (God first, others second). I'm glad you're here.
